worldwide news live from moscow city center this is r.t. . russia and nato have failed to reach a consensus on a missile defense plans in europe with the alliance standing. and it stands says it's against a joint missile shield and doesn't find it necessary to provide russia with legal guarantees that the shield won't be directed against it. joins us live from russian city of sochi where the talks have now a drawn to a close hello to you natasha it seems that russia and nato have a long way to go to overcome divisions over plans in europe. well indeed it still seems like there is still a long way to go the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov described talks on missile defense shield in europe as long and not going as smoothly as it was expected why at speaking at a separate press conference secretary general of nato rasmussen has said that

nature never promised those stocks will simply happen overnight he also explained that the reason why sectoral anti-missile defense shield with the participation of russia is impossible is because nato members cannot nature cannot delegate the security of nato countries to a third party well here's part of that sort of offer so that each would want to have a judicial proof that anti-missile defense shield is not aimed against russia three general rasmussen has said he sees no need of such a proof and once again try to ensure that i am here is not not going to be a threat to russia of course russia does not believe that and that is because big part of russia will be covered by that and find itself a defense shield and russian president dmitry medvedev believes that that could be a potential reason for another arms race. you know it was the last russia nato

summit in lisbon where they were both sides said that a lot of progress have been have been made on the missile defense shield now seems it's one step forward two steps back but let's discuss the issue of libya now and that was on the table for talks it appears that russia is not satisfied with nato methods on the front lawn. and in libya what's what's been said about that. well indeed on the sidelines of the russian nato council meeting there was a trilateral meeting with the russian president's meeting with a very different nato secretary general and the president of south africa jacob zuma came to present new ideas on how to resolve the conflict in libya the ideas were deprived from the recent summit of the african union and he was here speaking on behalf of the union now the ideas were her doubts but it seems that russia and nato are still not on the same page when it comes to resolving the conflict in libya. russia still believes the air dropping arms

to libya violates arms embargo while the secretary general rasmussen has been saying that in fact everything that's done in libya all parts of the operation are gordy going according to the u.n. security council's resolution let's listen to what russian foreign minister lavrov had to say. which we believe that the arms embargo that was introduced by the un security council is straightforward and it is captured this way in the resolution it applies to libya's entire territory therefore any arms supplies are violating this resolution as well as any attempts to send military instructors into libya to deliver military knowledge and know how these cases are covered by the arms embargo and this is our position. and speaking of head over this meeting of russia's and avoid chilling they told me that i was and i said that he fears that no one ground operation is just around the corner and if that happens. the situation in

the region will severely worsened meanwhile today secretary general rasmussen once again try to reassure everyone that it's not a ground operation is not in the plans so it's only a string of disagreements between russia and nato today regarding libya and of course regarding the missile defense program that isn't telling all because i love him so much you thank you. well though with civilian casualties mounting could offer you still in power and no end to the conflict inside now it was yet another problem a crippling shortage of munitions the alliances appealed to germany which was previously resisted getting involved in the conflict to chip in and it's all to use a really good discovered there are those who believe berlin is all too happy to get on board now there's a profit to be made. more

bombs wanted just over one hundred days of airstrikes and with just over two thousand bombs dropped by nato allies on libya the mission has run into an unexpected problem a lack of cells to drop where there is demand there is supply in this case germany has agreed to provide the much needed ammunition previously berlin has abstained from voting in favor of the un security council resolution on libya a move that surprised some and angered others but it may now be backing out of a decision the germans may not want to participate but are they have decided that the position does not preclude them actually subsequent weapons in this case or systems some believe germany is under pressure from other nato members particularly the united states friends in the u.k. to take a more active part in the libyan campaign at first hand our you know ministries toward the foreign affairs minister don't go into libya it's a very bad conflict it was started by the cia and it's

a dirty business don't go there so this is why you voted with russia and china now the backlash from washington is so tough obviously we are under pressure to do something to make up for this decision aside from peer pressure germany may be alerted by the possible financial benefits of making its weapons available for natives use in libya probably germany will get paid for delivering these arms to other countries but that is normal practice between can't even be in nato countries . out of the twenty eight nato members only eight are actively participating in libya with civilian deaths to which nato recently admitted to a shortage of weapons and the ever relentless more market duffy still at the helm the coalition may be facing just the beginning of its problems. berlin is in a tough spot on the one hand it has. disappointed nato by refusing to support the

mission in libya in march on the other by agreeing to supply bombs it may now lose friends in other high places and whatever the real reasons for its contradictory policy may be germany could find that by trying to please everyone it may end up pleasing no one it is a go. meantime nato has deployed commando units in libya to quote get rid of colonel gadhafi well that's the claim from one of his sons this comes after another son saif gadhafi spoke exclusively to r.t. saying that he believes the alliance wants only to feast on libya's riches. these countries is a piece of cake rich full of guys oil and we have more than one hundred million dollars deposits abroad so we have to share the scheme that it. and we have to get mr gadhafi because he's the only obstacle between.

us and the king it's as simple as that you can check out the full version of this exclusive interview on our website at www dot com. or the hague war crimes tribunal has entered a plea of not guilty on behalf of former bosnian serb general ratko the accused was ordered out of the court for interrupting the judge and speaking out of turn a former general complained of having had a hard time hearing previously the judge refused to postpone the hearing at the request of moderates who threatened to boycott the proceedings he has rejected the legal team given to him by the court demanding to choose his own defense lawyers laddish is accused of ordering the mass killing of thousands of bosnian muslims during the balkans war but it's not to use a current i thought about reports many serbs feel that the international criminal court is only taking one side in the conflict. liquid little town of slipping needs in bosnia and herzegovina looks at gaelic new houses are being built people go

about their business and in the center of the town a mosque and a church sit side by side but this apparent unity is an illusion sixteen years ago the entire region was torn apart by ethnic clashes during the yugoslav war instead it needs to became infamous when the united nations stated eight thousand. muslim men and boys were massacred by bosnian serb forces today and the morial for the deceased sits in the grounds of a former un military base the sort of thing it's a memorial ground as well maintained and frequently visited by locals journalists and tourists who get boston from the bosnian capital of what the tourists aren't shown are the thousands of serbian graves that lined cemeteries all around us that have been it's a region. thousands of people were killed during the balkan wars of the one nine hundred ninety s. but cemeteries like these with entire families of murdered serb civilians only get

visited by the very few remaining survivors but only comes here all the time his entire family lives here he says a bosnian muslim general is responsible so you know i was only nine years old when this had already struck away everything i had in life first he killed my mother then my father and brother i was wounded and taken captive they held me for fifty six days and only god knows how or why i survived. but even though but on a survive his loss just like that of thousands of people here is being ignored. each was at the hague tribunal and i was supposed to be a witness in his trial but in the end me and about thirty other witnesses were simply cast aside they didn't call us didn't ask what happened to our families and the tribunal only gave him two years in prison. the balkan wars are hitting us a tri cities visited on all sides and perpetrated by all players but the version

most often propagated by western media is rather one sided in blaming the serbs the purpose of that is to set the stage and create a rationale for so-called humanitarian interventions which indeed occurred in considerable number in the mouth of stock in it so that so-called precedent can be traced through the years and into today's headlines bosnia iraq afghanistan and most recently libya have old played unwilling hosts to nato troops and u.s. imposed no fly zones it is very important and the creation of the. scenario for make sure that in the minds of most people. was drawn aside which was preventable but for whatever reasons the so-called international community didn't do anything about it some might say the journey from

sitting needs it to benghazi via baghdad and kabul could now be traced as a kind of nato road map but as with any road paved with good intentions there is only one possible destination castros are about r t bosnia and herzegovina. thirteen minutes past the hour now here in moscow coming up in just a few minutes drawn out drawdown despite barack obama's plan for a massive pullout from afghanistan next year experts claim america is stuck there for years to come and paying for the conflict with blood and money. also we look at how free range cattle might help to cure heart disease with a groundbreaking new russian procedure. organizers of the pro palestinian flotilla have a valid to defy a greek sailing ban and to push ahead with their humanitarian mission to gaza at all costs the band came after a number of ships were found to be damaged with activists condemning what they said

being tormented for sixty three years. see the interview in fifteen minutes time here on r.t. now barack obama's that recently announced afghanistan drawdown plan has been slammed by republicans. they say withdrawing thirty three thousand troops by the end of next summer is too much of a military risk but artie's loyalist finds out that the talk of change may just be a symbolic gesture as there's no end in sight to the u.s. presence in the country. the aftermath of a taliban attack in kabul. a luxury hotel frequented by foreigners earlier this year taliban gunmen wearing suicide vests storm a guest house used by u.n. staffers. last year another attack on hotels this is where every year. examples are strewn through the near decade war familiar aftermath we have anybody

pegged down here in the south only now americans heard this declaration before news of the blast we're starting this drawdown from a position of strength about u.s. plans to begin pulling troops out of afghanistan but there are declarations on the ground from afghan activists of military might that's looked a different mark democracy never come by a completion democracy never come by military invasion democracy never come by cluster bomb by white phosphorus by muscle car by bumping our wedding parties and in washington talk of winding down war in one country does not wind down talk of tackling the global terrorist threat as the focus seems to shift to neighbors should be refocusing resources on pakistan yemen somalia parts of north africa and other locations i've always believed pakistan is more central to what happens in afghanistan a change in the guard at the department of defense with robert gates retiring and former cia chief leon panetta getting sworn in signals of this change of course to

critics i see no difference between between him and robert gates and for afghanistan we now hear a presidential pledge to pull thirty three thousand troops out by september two thousand and twelve fully we're covering the surge i announced at west point well it certainly sounds like. the american people would like to hear for the first time ever a majority want u.s. troops out of afghanistan as soon as possible fifty six percent while thirty nine percent want troops there until the situation is stabilized you can see the trend is really flip flopped but what is the reality of obama's plans for troop withdrawal all that thirty three thousand he's calling for is a minority of the one hundred thousand american troops that are there that's not including another forty two thousand nato troops and ninety thousand department of defense contractors meanwhile the u.s. has reiterated a long term commitment to the country there certainly has been an agreement that

following two thousand and fourteen there will be some kind of continuing presence . presence and financial burden some see as permanent observers believe u.s. bases are in the forever future lorin mr r. t. washington d.c. . with the u.s. troop withdrawal so underway in iraq the question is whether some military presence is necessary to keep the country together could lavelle discusses this matter with his guests in cross talk coming up next hour here's a preview. if there's an american in a responsible american departure without the issue of the disputed territories having been resolved then there's a high likelihood of renewed conflict even if those responsible leadership on each side because actions on the ground in particular the sunni arab insurgents might destabilize matters so there's a real risk to be an excuse the americans would be absolutely delighted to get completely out of iraq but barack obama would like it because it would look good
